This is all rather odd because my ARMiniX seems to keep quite good
time, although it is usually switched off at night. I just checked,
and it was within a minute (which seems to be resolution of the
display in Configure) compared with a satellite clock. It get its time
from pool.ntp.org.
One point is that my router is left on all the time, so a net time
signal is should be available as soon as the ARMiniX is switched on.
